I've opened PIG-3460 which has a preliminary patch with all of the changes we've made to illustrate over at Mortar. I still have a few things I need to do this week to get the patch ready to be merged but I wanted to get the jira up for general feedback.
Given that illustrate isn't in great shape on trunk now I think it would be nice to get the changes into the 0.12 release, but its also a large change and it might make sense to hold off. Any thoughts? -- Jeremy Karn / Lead Developer MORTAR DATA / 519 277 4391 / www.mortardata.com
